Formed in 2018, The Gibbons are an all original, stripped down, blues influenced rock n’ roll band. Their music features locked in drum and bass grooves provided by bassist Schuyler Dinsdale and drummer Greg Montplaisir, complimented by the dual Les Paul guitar attack of Peter Boone and Nathan Zito. They released a self titled album available on Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp.

Recently, Brian has also joined the ranks of Ninjas with Syringes, bringing his skills to an already established band. Brian began writing music and realized that it wasn’t quite in the style of his punk rock roots. He took some time to begin recording and playing to support his solo endeavor, while somehow finding time to stay committed to his other projects, families and various hobbies. With a focus on internal reflection and external observation, Brian’s lyrics oscillate between raw emotive expression and, what he hopes will be accepted as, an intelligent narrative of the world around him.
